I haven't played a lot lately so I figured I would kill a bit of time in a 500+ day old unlim that uses stock ships/planets. Played a few days and now I have a really bad sign after getting dropped from the server:

Selection (? for menu): B

Trade Wars 2002 Win32 module now loading.
ANSI files missing from the game directory.

Disconnecting from server...

Selection (? for menu): B

Trade Wars 2002 Win32 module now loading.
TWSECT.DAT is missing from C:\PROGRAM FILES\EPIC INTERACTIVE STRATEGY\TWGS\GAME\TW2\

Disconnecting from server...

Selection (? for menu): B

Trade Wars 2002 Win32 module now loading.
TWUSER.DAT is missing from C:\PROGRAM FILES\EPIC INTERACTIVE STRATEGY\TWGS\GAME\TW2\

Disconnecting from server...

Attempting to connect to: <server>:2002

Connection accepted
Game server is currently full. (yeah, no chance)
Connection lost.

Looks like a major crash. I "think" the OS they are running is Linux but don't know for certain.

If it's actually being ran under wine, there's little reason not to make nightly backups of the .wine directory to prevent stuff like this from killing your server.

You're going to run it under wine? Wow... good luck there. It isn't stable. I strongly recommend a VM like virtualbox, as you can clone the drive for backups and get solid performance for the server.
